Nothing to build knowledge on. I do, however, find Icke documenting most (not all) of his information. I've actually written him complaining that he ought to do it more, but like most of us -- me included -- he gets carried away by his feelings sometimes and goes on little tirades. Definitely not scientific, and you are good to call us all on it when we do it.
